Leafhopper/Sharpshooter, not Planthopper.

Ja, ja, ja... And once you can tell me the difference between the hoppers: plant or leaf? This one is I think definitely a Leafhopper, a sharp shooting one ;-)... But what are actually plant hoppers?? Good night and see you otra vez...

It's a Cicadellidae/Leafhopper and Cicadellinae/Sharpshooter, Macunolla ventralis.
